Default Stupid Ice!!! (not a bad story)

It is a bad story, but I didn't total my car or anything.

Well, it's been snowing in the Northwest for a couple days now, but now it's all ice. There like an inch or two of ice on top of snow. Mr Plow hasn't been doing his job and there's somewhat clear areas on the road, but turning lanes and....actually it's only clear where the tires hit the ground and there's snow inbetween them. My car is low, but not too low and sometimes the icey snow gets dragged under my car.

Well, after picking up snow chains for my sister from my dads house my car was intact before we left the house. I drop her off and I notice my front lip is gone . I don't act upset cause I don't want her to feal like it's her fault or anything, but after I leave, I retrace my path and I can't find a damn thing. It pisses me off cause I got that lip from a friend and I can't get it from any junkyards cause they're either damaged or come with the bumper. My car looks so naked without it . I'm just happy that I didn't wreck or anything, but it still makes me sad. This happened not too long ago at around 11:00pm Wed. and I just had to vent.

How many screws were holding your lip on? Double that number when you reinstall it/a new one.

Duck tape is a lot like the force. It has a dark side, a light side, and it holds the universe together.
